1. K2 (Karak) chain balance

   $268 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   The K2 team's bridge on Ethereum now pays balances by Merkle proof (a list that proves your balance). The merkle root is set and claims are not paused. After 2027-09-12 the guardian can sweep what is left.

   1. Ask the K2 team for your Merkle proof. We could not find an official page that gives proofs.
   2. On the OptimismPortal 0xeeCE9CD7Abd1CC84d9dfc7493e7e68079E47eA73 call claimETH(_amount, _proof) for ETH.
   3. For tokens, call claimTokens(_tokens, _amounts, _proof) on the L1StandardBridge 0xBA61F25dd9f2d5f02D01B1C2c1c5F0B14c4B48A3.

2. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $25 · 2 positionsMay not work

   This chain shut down and its state is gone, so no one can prove a withdrawal now. The Ethereum bridge still holds the money; only the chain team can release it.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Check that chain's official site for a refund or recovery notice.
   3. Without the chain's final state nobody can prove a withdrawal. Only the chain team can release the bridge funds.

3. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $11 · 2 positions

   Lisk's own chain closes on 2026-10-31. Lisk says withdrawing to Ethereum takes about 8 days, and unstaking LSK adds 3 days. Start now.

   1. Open the Lisk bridge (type bridge.lisk.com yourself) and connect your wallet.
   2. Withdraw your assets to Ethereum. If you staked LSK, unlock it first and wait 3 days.
   3. After the wait, prove and finalize the withdrawal on Ethereum. You pay gas on both chains.

   $3 · 2 positions

   Polygon zkEVM's sequencer stopped on 1 July 2026. Wallet-held funds not bridged before then can be claimed on Ethereum in a claim UI. Polygon treats unclaimed assets as abandoned after 2027-12-31.

8. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   $2 · 1 position

   You hold MKR, or MKR in the old DSChief voting contract, that was never converted to SKY. The converter still works. Its fee is 5% now (read on-chain 2026-10-01) and rises 1 point every 3 months.

   1. Open the Sky app and connect your wallet.
   2. If your MKR is in the old DSChief voting contract, first call free(amount) on that contract.
   3. Approve MKR, then convert it to SKY. You get 24,000 SKY per MKR minus the fee.
   4. Without the app: call mkrToSky(usr, mkrAmt) on the converter 0xA1Ea1bA18E88C381C724a75F23a130420C403f9a.

11. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

    <$1 · 1 position

    zkSync Lite was shut down on 2026-05-04. Remaining balances are claimable on Ethereum through a claim contract and a withdrawal portal. Your account is on that list and has not claimed.

    1. Open the zkSync Lite withdrawal portal and connect the wallet that owned the account.
    2. The portal finds your address in the final state, builds the proof and sends the claim. Follow its prompts.
    3. Confirm the Ethereum transaction. Tokens go to your L1 address. Matter Labs sponsors gas for the first 100,000 withdrawals.

12. Alpaca staked ibTokens (FairLaunch)

    Alpaca Finance

    <$1 · 1 position

    You staked Alpaca ibTokens in the old FairLaunch farm on BNB Chain. The app is gone but the contract lets you take them out. The ibUSDC pool (pid 24) may not pay.

    1. Open FairLaunch 0xA625AB01B08ce023B2a342Dbb12a16f2C8489A8F on BscScan, Write Contract.

13. Thruster v3 position on Blast

    <$1 · 1 position

    You hold a Thruster v3 liquidity position (an NFT) on Blast. Thruster has shut down, but the position contract still works.

    1. Open the position contract 0x434575EaEa081b735C985FA9bf63CD7b87e227F9 on Blastscan, Write tab, and connect the wallet that owns the NFT.
    2. Call decreaseLiquidity with your tokenId, the liquidity amount, amount0Min, amount1Min and a deadline. Thruster's old guide explains each field.
    3. Then call collect(tokenId, recipient, max, max) to receive the tokens. You can call burn(tokenId) afterwards to delete the empty NFT.
    4. If the NFT is not in your wallet, it may be locked in another contract such as Hyperlock. Withdraw it from there first.

14. GMX v1 GLP staked

    <$1 · 1 position

    You hold staked GLP, the liquidity token of GMX v1 (Arbitrum or Avalanche). GMX stopped v1 trading in July 2025; you can only sell existing GLP back for the underlying assets.

    1. Open v1.app.gmx.io, connect your wallet and use the Sell GLP page. If your GLP is staked, the page unstakes it as part of the sale.
    2. If the page fails, call unstakeAndRedeemGlp(tokenOut, glpAmount, minOut, receiver) on RewardRouterV2: Arbitrum 0xB95DB5B167D75e6d04227CfFFA61069348d271F5.
    3. GMX docs also mention claims for GLP holders in their distributions section. Rows marked as contracts (vesters, vaults) are unclear.

15. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

    <$1 · 1 position

    You supplied funds to Orbit Lending on Blast, which was exploited. You can still withdraw, but some markets hold less cash than is owed, so first come, first served.

    1. Open your cToken contract (listed in the row) on Blast's block explorer, Write tab, connect wallet.
    2. Call redeem(cTokenBalance) or redeemUnderlying(amount).
    3. If you have a borrow in the same market, repay it first; your collateral is locked until then.
